VLAN configuration on Ruckus ICX switches for Ruckus Wireless WLAN's

Summary

Adding untagged & tagged vlan on the same switch port on Ruckus ICX switch.

Question

How to add a Un-tagged and tagged VLAN on ICX switch ports?

Customer Environment

Customer running ZD/Unleashed/SZ/vSCG with Ruckus ICX switches and want to use a separate VLAN for a specific WLAN. Example: VLAN 10 is the Native VLAN VLAN 20, 30 are used for as Tagged port for WLAN,s.

Root Cause

Following is an example on how to add VLAN into a Trunk port as Tagged and Un-tagged at same time.

Resolution

How to allow Un-tagged and tagged VLAN, in a Trunk port..

To achieve this, add desired VLANs as tagged into the interface and then use "dual-mode" command to make any of the added Tagged VLAN as Un-tagged.

NOTE : Dual-mode command is depreciated from FI 08.0.80 so need to untag and tag the same port on desired vlans on later releases.

Example:

User has VLAN 10 as native, VLAN 20 and 30 for wireless clients. User wants to add VLAN 10 as Un-tagged and VLAN 20,30 a tagged to switch port
ethernet 1/1/1.

To enable the dual-mode feature on port 1/1/1, enter the following commands:

Access the Brocade ICX switch-

device# enable
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# tagged ethernet 1/1/1 (This will allow VLAN 10 as tagged into interface ethernet 1/1/1)
device(config-vlan-10)# exit
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config-if-e1/1/1)# dual-mode 10 (This will make VLAN 10 as Un-tagged into interface ethernet 1/1/1)
device(config-if-e1/1/1)# exit
device(config)# vlan 20
device(config-vlan-20)# tagged ethernet 1/1/1 (This will allow VLAN 20 as tagged into interface ethernet 1/1/1)
device(config-if-e1000-2/11)# exit
device(config)# vlan 30
device(config-vlan-30)# tagged ethernet 1/1/1 (This will allow VLAN 20 as tagged into interface ethernet 1/1/1)
device(config-if-e1000-2/11)# exit

=====================================

To verify the VLAN setting, use below command:

device# show vlan
Total PORT-VLAN entries: 3
Maximum PORT-VLAN entries: 16
legend: [S=Slot]
PORT-VLAN 1, Name DEFAULT-VLAN, Priority level0, Spanning tree Off
Untagged Ports: (S1) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Untagged Ports: (S2) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Untagged Ports: (S2) 20 21 22 23 24
Tagged Ports: None
Uplink Ports: None
DualMode Ports: None
PORT-VLAN 10, Name [None], Priority level0, Spanning tree Off
Untagged Ports: (S2)
Tagged Ports: None
Uplink Ports: None
DualMode Ports: (S2) 1
PORT-VLAN 20, Name [None], Priority level0, Spanning tree Off
Untagged Ports: None
Tagged Ports: (S2) 1
Uplink Ports: None
DualMode Ports: (S2)
PORT-VLAN 30, Name [None], Priority level0, Spanning tree Off
Untagged Ports: None
Tagged Ports: (S2) 1
Uplink Ports: None
DualMode Ports: (S2)

====================================

You can now go to the Ruckus controller and change the WLAN configuration advance settings and change the VLAN from default 1 to 20 or 30.
